Global Programs / Why Go?
What if one trip could change everything?!
It’s normal to hesitate. But you won’t regret saying “Yes!” This isn’t just travel, it’s a chance to grow, serve, and experience God in a whole new way.
Reasons To Go
There are so many reasons to say yes
Experience God
Jesus calls you to step out in faith, to journey to Judea and urban centers. Experience God in fresh ways: in lively campuses, bustling streets, and genuine relationships.
Experience culture
The world has unique stories and flavors. A Global Program immerses you in a culture with diverse people. These encounters will inspire growth in faith.
Experience your passions
College is for self-discovery. A Global Program uncovers strengths and shapes careers. A course can change perspectives and time abroad reveals purpose.
Why not?!
Spend a summer abroad to explore a new country, learn a language, try new foods, and make friends. Your job will be waiting, but the lessons from your travels will last a lifetime.
